p oor record overall, but some records set The first Canyon Springs team to belong to any league was the girls ' soccer team. Although the team finished last in the Ivy League, with a record of one win and 17 losses, it managed to establish three firsts. The team ' s only win was against North High School, but that win also made history. When Lisette Acosta scored the winning goal, she made her team the first Canyon Springs team to win against a varsity opponent. I was very surprised about our record, Acosta said, but for a junior varsity team that played many varsity teams, we did pretty well. We worked hard and long, Ni- cole Nowacki explained. We came close on several occasions. In fact, the team came close seven times, each time losing by only one goal. Chosen the team ' s Most Valuable Player and the Most Valuable Player for Defense, Buffie Contreras was honored by being named All-Ivy League. It was a third first: she was the first from Canyon Springs to be honored as an all-league player. Buffie earned this, Coach Peg- gy Evans said, because she would never quit, and we could always count on her. Other awards went to Jennifer Landtiser, the team captain, and to Wendy Ruiz. Ruiz, whom the coach described as having great aggressive- ness, was named MVP for Offense. Our season could have been a little bit better, Lisa Turmon ad- mitted. We took a lot of sarcasm from the boys because of our losing streak, but still we all tried hard. We all had fun. GIRLS ' SOCCtR, FRONT ROW: P.iub Clrccn. Jen- R.ncc Slorcy .

T otal team effort results in success No doubt about it, the coach said, the JV basketball team had a spectacular first season; it was the first team in GIF history to go undefeated its first year, and the team averaged 83 points a game, while op- ponents averaged 40 points. Much of this was due to the three leading scorers: forward Anthony Walsh, who averaged 18 points, guard Rudy McGriff, who had a 16- points per game average, and the team ' s center, Jamey Lcmken. We felt in the summer that if we went 30-30 the first year, it would be a good year, coach Doug Stockham said. All of them exceeded my expec- tations. It was a total team effort. Team members were also pleased with the season. I feel as though we had the best season that a team could have, for- ward Daylind Ridgway said. We couldn ' t have done it without our head coach and assistant coaches Todd Dickenson and Gary BroUier. I think we accomplished a sense of teamwork, honor for our school, and pride in ourselves, guard Stacy Sampson said. We had our disagree- ments, but as soon as we stepped on the court, we were ready to play. The offensive MVP award was earned by Walsh; the defensive MVP title went to all-around athlete McGriff. Curtis Smith was named the team ' s scholar-athlete; he also won the coaches ' award. Lemken was chosen by coaches as the teams most improved player.
